Currently, on the Windows flavor of the HP installer, we elevate privileges near the very start of the installation process. This prevents some users from being able to get to the option dialog in which they could select the installation type of "Portable (just unpack the files)" which should not require admin.

A bit of re-structuring of the various embedded installers would probably allow this rather simply (said optimistically), by moving the elevating installer to later and to be conditional on the installation type (Standard or Custom, vs Portable).
